I'm sure there is, i just dont see it.

Thanks

Thank you BM. Good points.

Got your back by the way.  :D

1. When will bitassets3.0 be ready? Best guess please.
2. What's his thoughts on halting the price of BTS going in to a runaway decent?

It's that simple. I often wonder where BTS would be now if it had kept a small standalone fast wallet around while the behemoth client was worked on and released separately.

I think in the long run the web-based client will attract more users. Choosing to use web technologies was a stroke of genius.

This is actually huge, customer conversion requires minimizing steps and signup hassle.   Ultimately everyone will be using hosted/web wallets with browser plugins.

Absolutely true, but also make a simple and easy to use. It needs to be idiot proof as much as possible like bitreserve IMO

I totally agree with Helicopter Ben's analysis. The reason its not taking off is because the product is incomplete (but its getting close). A referral scheme is not going to help if we dont fix that first.

wallet.bitshares.org:

• Has no easy deposit page - integration with metaexchange and blocktrades needs to be seamless, not just a link
• Still feels kinda slow
• Needs its own brand identity
• Logging in as a guest and the dashboard is totally empty - needs to be buzzing with activity.

Btw there is a fun video game where you can play as helicopter ben: http://projects.wsj.com/games/thefederator/

good suggestion speedy

I am glad I am not the only one, who finds this idea attractive. Is there enough liquidity? I don't know, but I will tell my perspective: I am a conservative investor in BTS terms, but I trust the bitUSD peg to hold and I believe, it would hold also for other assets (if they were useful - such as indexes). And indexes are far less speculative investment than BTS, so I could invest like 2x - 3x more than I am currently in BTS

To me, a referral program is completely worthless. At present I don't tell my friends/family about BitShares, because there is nothing useful for them here (I just discuss with them the theoretical aspects of BS, mostly without mentioning it). And a referral program won't change it. On the other hand, as soon as there appears something useful for them in BitShares, I will begin spreading the word WITH or WITHOUT the referral program.

My priorities:

1) Finish 1.0 and introduce other pegged assets (stocks, indexes, commodities)
2) Wait for the word to spread + use ordinary marketing channels
3) If this doesn't help, start referral program

This makes the most sense from everything i have read so far. Practical and realistic IMO.

is this available for download? Just asking..

Nope.  It was a super secret meeting that only those who joined would know about.  With that said, it doesn't mean we can't talk about it more offline!

Super secret meeting huh. Was a special handshake required and will your post self destruct soon?
Spill the beans fuzzy..

Russia (one of many countries to come) is going to start blocking crypto-related websites:

paging @indolering and @toast (but I think they're very busy with other projects)

Can we designate a "Domain Team"?
I'd love to see www.bitshares.dac and wallet.bitshares.p2p up and running before the end of 2015.

Possible? By whom?

You make a good point ken, i love the bitshares p2p idea.

I think we need to have one eye making sure the bitshares system can survive govt bans, regardless of whether thats in the US or elsewhere.

is this available for download? Just asking..

Good idea.

1. What Bitshares is and how to use the Client (it needs a step by step explanation imo)
2. Decentralized Exchange - what it is and why its important
3. Voting - How and why its important.

Just my 2 cents. I think they need to be short'ish, concise easy to understand.

I recently came across this debit card that youcan load bitcoin on to. Are the marketeers aware of this card as a possible off ramp for bitassets?

cryptosigma.com

Just an idea.

Chin up Method-X  :D.
Dig deep and think where we could be in a years time. We all need you here man.

I take Dan's comments at face value but it would be nice to have one or two of these in the bag already - or at least concrete news.

"We've talked to everyone from Coinbase to Bitstamp to BitPay, half a dozen others, and they all want to integrate with us, it's just a schedule priority issue," Larimer said.

"I suspect that by the end of 2015, there's going to be three major players, bitcoin, Ripple and us, as far as blockchain technologies," he said.
